CCMA Spain – Joana Biarnés

Country: Spain
Joana Biarnés – One of the Boys”

“Joana Biarnés – One of the Boys” is the very touching and practically unknown story about the first Spanish female photojournalist from the 1950s. Throughout her photographic career lasting more than 30 years, Joana Biarnés lived an amazing life: she spent three hours in a room with the Beatles, tricked Roman Polanski under a false identity, kissed with Clint Eastwood and many more anecdotes – only to get the one and only shot. In 1985, she completely changed her life and opened up a restaurant with her husband.

This fascinating and likeable character delighted the Jury, when this very rich photographic archive was discovered and the documentary was then produced and does justice for the first photojournalist in Spain.
